Hi Matt,

I haven't been able to convert "Mix Tape" with audio for some reason
(ffmpeg2theora says there's an audio stream there, but won't output it).
I will try again, using audio and video capture if necessary.  I see
that you cc'd a couple mailing lists.  If anyone has advice on this
matter please do tell.

The last two videos on the page have always been available as MPEG-1,
which I assumed is free, as there are mpeg1 players in Debian main and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG-1 doesn't mention patents, unlike
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG-2#Patent_holders

I may be wrong about the freeness of MPEG-1 and will convert the videos
to Ogg Theora in either case.

Mike
